Crack down on torrents in Thailand
A Police spokesman on a conference on a anti Pirate meeting in USA announced that they will soon go after everybody sharing movies and files on the internet. The Police Spokesman said that they failed utterly to crack down on the pirates selling the DVD in Pantip because they are well connected. It will be easier to go after rich foreigners that downloading movies from the internet from their home. Visiting any file sharing site like Piratebay.org and other torrents sites will also become a criminal act.
This will also solve the problem with the slow internet because the downloading of torrents by foreigners is the reason the internet is slow according to CAT and has nothing to do with oversea connections.
The Police said further that this will also solve their problems with old computers in the police stations since all computers found with pirated software and movies will be confiscated and donated to the police that discovered the pirate hub of torrent.
Starting after the Thai New Year the Cyber Crime center will monitor all connection of torrents and other file swaps in Thailand. Anybody sending an attachment with email, downloading torrents or any other of way of sending file will get a notice on their screen to come and hand over their computer with one week or the police will come to them.
The spokesperson did not say if the cyber criminals were to hand over just the computer or if the wire, printers, and monitors should be included but they say more information will come in the next weeks.
The Visa or work permit will not be affected of the foreigners would not be affected if the person handed over the computer within the set deadline. Thai people with a new computer will also be targeted since they have money to buy a new one. You can from the IP trace see what model of computer you are using this has been done for over 10 years around the world. Anyone caught also have to pay a fine for every movie or software inside the computer at the time of hand over.

January 17th, 2010 — Blocked Sites, Internet
How much privacy do you really have when you surf the internet in Thailand? After some website we checked went very slow we decided to check Yahoo, CNN, Facebook, YouTube and few other sites and all have the same thing you can see on the bottom of this video below.
MICT is inside your internet browser basically and can see whatever information you sending. So if you are uploading some holiday pictures on the YouTube and using your Gmail account as long in the chance is that the Thai government now knows your password as well.
The Thai governments are apparently tying to stop people or pirates from downloading CD and DVD covers in an effort to stop piracy in Thailand.
The question is how much privacy do you want to sacrifice to stop piracy?
How many more websites will the Thai government sneak into instead of just blocking?
See the video below in the left corner but the video is not complete but it we did not want to make a bigger video.

January 14th, 2010 — Internet, Thai ISP
When you need to download something the internet in Thailand the torrent can be the fastest way to do it. Many people are sharing their legal work on torrents as well because they want people from all over the world to download it quickly and easy.
Downloading torrents in Thailand are not yet illegal even if holding a pirate copy of a DVD is but we will not get into that now. We are talking about the many programs you can download legally and what to do about the speed of your internet.
Content customer equals slow internet
Your very own internet provider has limited speed to play with when it comes to abroad connections so they do everything in their power to tweak and adjust your connection.
Happy and content customers in Thailand probably get the worst speed because they will move you down to make way for customers that complain.
Your internet provider will probably also block or limit how many torrents you can download and if they say you are a constant downloaded you will see problems from time to time.
Get faster torrent download speed
To trick the Thai internet provider tell your torrent program to random the ports with every start up and also turn off and on your internet modem from time to time. When you do that you will see that your torrent speed will go up a great deal.
Legal Torrents
Legaltorrents.com They shared over 90 terabyte in December and all the files are stored centrally so you will always have a happy ending, on your download.
Public Domain Torrents Another great share of legal torrent file loads of music and video but stick to the recent uploaded stuff.
Legit Torrents Free games, Linux software and videos.
